A little problem with my career

 

I would say that I like most of my career, although there is a huge psychoanalytic bias – mostly from Freudian perspective – in the first two and half years, and in my opinion it is problematic since psychoanalysis is not scientifically validated, and have way too much speculation – like if you have a problem with authority and you are woman is because “you are jealous of the penis of men” – and silly and ridiculous as it sound there is many psychology students that prefers studying this perspective over studying basic statistics or psychometry, and I think is mostly because of the bias of the first semesters.

Then, even when there are many required courses that have a scientifically and evidenced-proved perspective many choose to not pay to much attention to them, because “they are not what they need for practice as a psychologist.”, and better not mention about optional courses with this perspective, because of the hundred and so students many of these courses only have like fifteen or ten students – and many of them have been canceled due this – Some professors say that they do not understand well about this situation, but they think it is because of the exposed above, that is, the psychoanalytic bias.

 I do not really have a problem with the people who like reading about this psychology school. Actually, I enjoy a lot of surreal and dreamlike based art, but it is art, the problem begins when you study a career that is supposed to help people who is suffering and apply speculations as a treatment. The least you can do for the people who place their hopes on you is offering them the best and more effective treatment.
